 Loving, disciplined, generous were the words of family and friends to the late Maureenike Bodhi Ogumbar, knee Ogumbangu at a funeral service at the William Christian Church of God, the Fountain of Living Waters, and Thony Village in Lagos. The two-day burial ceremony attracted dignitaries, well-wishes from far and wide, who converged at Gurudu for the final burial rites. Our correspondent, Paul George, was there and now in reports. Women and women, young and old, at this congregation wore mournful looks. It was a moment of sadness and celebration of a life well-lived by Mrs. Maureenike Bodhi Ogumbar. Tributes poured in one after the other from our friends and those who had some experiences with her when she was alive. Her son, Aditha Ogumbar, and one of her daughters-in-law, Laio Shola Daniels, spoke about a good deed, wishing her eternal rest. My mom was a mother indeed. She practically gave her life for us. She was very tall, she was a disciplinarian, but after 50 years of life, we look back and realize that that discipline was worth it and we love her so much. She was so wonderful and we will miss her, but we know she has gone to a better place to be with the Lord. She was brutally honest. She knew what she wanted and more often than not, we may not agree with her, but we always found out that whatever she said was actually the right thing to do. She had a way with people. She was a people lover. Even though she would say she has favorites, she would tell me that the other one is her favorite. Then she would go to the other one and tell her that I'm her favorite. We can see the children. She raised four boys, single and deadly, and all of them turned out well. I know that she's already with Jesus. Her bosom friend and confidant, Adoni Kasim, shared tears as she recounted great memories of her. I miss her so much. Meanwhile, the senior pastor of the redeemed Christian Church of God, the fountain of living waters, Conrad May May, gave exhortations from the book of James chapter 4 verse 13 and 14. She was a frank someone. She would tell you the truth. It doesn't matter whether you agree or you don't agree with her. In my marriage, she helped me. I'm going to Jerusalem. She was the one that facilitated my journey. She told me that when she comes back, she will make sure that that's what I sleep on. She did my own. I miss her. It will be what you took on you, see? If I'm right, I'll call. If I'm wrong, I'll tell you the truth. The spiritual judgment in Genesis chapter 4 says you who have made plans for tomorrow, The next day, well-wishers converge on a kudu for the burial proper. The Paul Barra, in celebration of the late Nomi Ogumba Assum called her, displayed their dancing steps, adding color to the ceremony. The senior pastor of the Fountain of Living Waters, Pastor Meme, prayed. Eight years followed as her remains were finally committed to Mother Earth. The celebration of life continued with a reception after a short service held for the late MBO. The second son of the deceased, Aden Kashumotun, said if reincarnation was possible, he would want her mother back. Other members of the family, Victoria Omobo Ali Ogumba and Awolabi Ogumba also paid tributes to their late sister. Apart from her biological children, there are a lot of other people who call her mom that she basically adopted and sold into their lives and was a blessing to them. So I know that's a lot but you know my mother was many things and there are many things that we remember her for. If I could choose all over again, 100% I would choose her to be my mom. We just want her to continue to rest in the post-op of our Lord and Savior. She does not control nonsense. If you say anything to her, she will scold you immediately. Then this guy, she's a good woman. Very good. When you look at her, you have seen our mother. There's no good thing to say about her than it is well with her. And even in her death, she will still continue to love her. Morenike Bode Ogumba. Me Ogumba Wu was born on March 8, 1941 in Shagamo to Mr. Emmanuel Adebayo Ogumba and Madam Ramatsu Ogumba Wu.
